Zepbound and Hair loss

Posted by luamiller @luamiller, Jan 6 8:32am

I have been on Zepbound for about a year and I am experiencing hair loss/thinning. I have been taking 5,000 Biotin, but still happening. Anyone else experience this and what has helped you?

@cocobean603 I agree with what you have just shared. So let me know if you get any answers.

Update from me - it’s October. Hair loss stopped and started coming back around August. Am stable at .5 and 63 pounds but going to try to reduce dosage. So glad to hear about the protein shake. I need it. Thanks!

@danawyn tried it. I had results for a while, but then it stopped being effective.

I'm getting ready to start Zepbound. I already have lost some hair and I don't really know why. I'm on Spironolactone 50mg and Minoxidil odil 2.5 mg. It hasn't really helped. I've used Vegamour shampoo/serum with no results. I do not plan to exceed 5 mg on Zepbound. I am scared to death of the hair loss. From what I've read, it starts about the third month, but nothing about it starting, stopping and starting again. I already have fine thin hair and I sure don't want to lose more. They try to make you think if you do it slow slowly that you won't lose it. From reading these comments that doesn't seem to be true.
